Problems with the strength of gear coming from easy mode Alexander

1. Because only like 1% of the community raids.

Reason why only 1% of the community raids is because there is almost 0 incentive to do it, and most raiders are leaving/will leave this game for other MMOs with better endgame.
I raided hardcore in every MMO, I also raided on FFXIV, cleared T13 in 2.0 and bismarck/ravana in 3.0, then I just stopped, until recently where I cleared the last EXs (the weapon bismarck dropped was a joke compared to the huge dps check needed you beat him, it was only needed to unlock ravana).
I played outside of this one but I don't feel like doing it in FFXIV because I think it's just a waste of time considering the itemization that we get here, no need to put in so much effort and stress myself with raiding if I can achieve the same just by doing some experts and 1 24 man faceroll raid each week.
